Dr. Elyse Hope uses her diverse background to guide health sector projects through Genome BC and Genome Canada funding competitions and foster partnership development.

Throughout her career as a scientist, Elyse has balanced her own research with efforts to help other scientists navigate the challenges of publishing, funding, and training. She is thrilled to continue this work at Genome BC, and to be in a position to build connections between academic and industrial groups that will elevate the reach and impact of their work and bolster Vancouver’s international reputation as a top environment for innovation in health and biotechnology.

Elyse earned a Ph.D. in Genome Sciences from the University of Washington in Seattle, and a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology from Stanford University, where she contributed to research in computational genomics. Her graduate work focused on complex community traits underlying pathogenicity in yeast from both genetics and biodiversity standpoints. Before joining Genome BC, she served as a postdoctoral fellow at the BC Cancer Agency studying mechanisms of genome instability.
